Identity won't be perfect, but there are better and worse practices: * Web of trust - better * Aggregating 4 documents (credit cards) which content an attacker can control completely to reach 100 points - worse So you're right, there's no perfect identity; There is however pretty good identity, and that's not it. -- Arik That’s not the point, Assaf…

Identity won’t be perfect, but there are better and worse practices:

* Web of trust – better
* Aggregating 4 documents (credit cards) which content an attacker can control completely to reach 100 points – worse

So you’re right, there’s no perfect identity; There is however pretty good identity, and that’s not it.

That ended with the '90s. More seriously, it is like the identification verification systems for banks in the US. While no formal point count is used (I like that - do you get a point card like at Jamba Juice on your way to a free Bananalicious Delight?), they do indeed have certain combinations: like passport and credit card, two credit cards - one with picture, electric bill and driver's license, gun license with gun, etc. Same thing but with no free smoothie. Time for chip implants for all you guys, so we can identify you. Meanwhile I'll join the troglodyte resistance. -al Dude – perfect identity belongs in a perfect world. That ended with the ’90s.
